According to the latest UNAIDS / global HIV/AIDS data
- Worldwide, in 2024 about 40.8 million people were living with HIV.
- In 2024, there were about 1.3 million new HIV infections, showing a ~40% decline since 2010, though far above the target set for 2025.
- In 2024, an estimated 630,000 people died from AIDS‑related causes globally.
- Compared to 2010, AIDS-related deaths have fallen by around 54–56% by 2024.
- Treatment access has expanded: in 2024 about 31.6 million people living with HIV received antiretroviral therapy.
- However, in early 2025, UNAIDS warned that major funding cuts, especially from the US (a major donor), have seriously disrupted HIV prevention and treatment programmes globally.
If these funding gaps are not addressed, UNAIDS projects millions of additional new infections and AIDS-related deaths in coming years.
What this means now
While progress over the last two decades has significantly reduced both new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths, the recent financial disruptions and service gaps have placed the global fight against AIDS at a precarious point. The 2021 warning by UNAIDS, of potentially millions of deaths if inequalities and disruptions remain unaddressed, remains dangerously relevant.
In 2025 the world stands at a critical crossroads: continuing the hard-won gains will require renewed commitment, sustainable funding, universal access to prevention and treatment, and addressing social inequalities.
Why Is World AIDS Day Celebrated?
World AIDS Day was first celebrated annually on 1 December 1988 with the aim of raising awareness of HIV / AIDS. On World AIDS Day, countries around the world have launched a campaign to raise awareness for the need to prevent this incurable disease. Initially, two doctors, James W. Bunn and Thomas Netter, proposed a campaign.
COVID-19 Creates Inequalities Making HIV Infected People Life Challenging
HIV remains a major public health problem affecting millions of people worldwide. Although the world has made significant progress in recent decades, the 2020 global targets have not been met. Diversity, inequality and human rights abuses are among the failures that have made HIV a global health problem. Currently, COVID-19 is exacerbating inequalities and disruption of resources, making the lives of many people living with HIV extremely challenging.
Significance of World AIDS Day
Currently, every country in the world is facing a range of problems. There are some problems so far that the world cannot find a solution to. AIDS, a deadly disease, is like a curse to human life.

Difference Between HIV and AIDS
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that causes chronic diseases such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS is the last stage of HIV infection. HIV can easily spread from one body to another but not AIDS. HIV destroys the human immune system, which helps to fight many germs in our body. AIDS is not treated with drugs, but the HIV virus can be controlled. Still, there is a spiritual solution to the problem.
History of World AIDS Day
HIV was first found in animals. Some doctors and scientists believe that HIV was transmitted to humans by a baboon, the Gorilla. One of the main reasons for the spread of the virus was the illicit relationship between the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s capital Kinshasa and the use of infected needles in drug stores, etc.

In the 1960s, the virus spread from Africa to the Caribbean and gradually spread to almost every country in the world. AIDS was identified in 1981 and studies showed that AIDS is a deadly disease caused by HIV.
Theme for World AIDS Day 2025
The World AIDS Day 2025 theme is “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response”, as announced by UNAIDS and the UN. This theme highlights the urgent need to tackle the challenges facing the global HIV response, such as funding gaps, discriminatory laws, and interruptions to essential services, in order to build a more resilient, innovative, and effective system aimed at ending AIDS by 2030.
Overcoming disruption: This aspect focuses on the impacts of global crises, including pandemics, social inequalities, and financial shortfalls, which have hindered HIV prevention, testing, and treatment services.
Transforming the AIDS response: This emphasizes adopting modern tools, strong political leadership, international collaboration, and human-rights-centered strategies to close service gaps, improve care, and empower communities worldwide.
The role of communities: Central to this theme is the recognition of community-led initiatives, which are vital for reaching marginalized populations and addressing barriers to healthcare access, ensuring that no one is left behind in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

HIV / AIDS Can Not Be Cured by Medical Science but by True Worship (Sat-Bhakti)
Scientists are working to find a cure for HIV / AIDS. But, as of now, there is no scientific cure for the disease. However there is a spiritual way to cure it forever. Man’s journey of life begins at birth. Destiny is determined in advance. The Enlightened Sant Rampal Ji’s sacred book “Way of Living” gives a detailed description of man’s journey through life. The goal of humans (male / female) is to gain salvation. There are holes and thorns for sins and good deeds in the way of man. A person can achieve salvation by doing worship based on the scriptures.
After taking the initiation (Naam Diksha) from SatGuru Rampal Ji, the Supreme God removes all the problems as the soul is united with the Supreme God. If the devotee remains devoted to the Supreme God faithfully then the Almighty sweeps all obstacles, the thorns of sinful deeds, from his way of life. The devotee easily gets to his destination. What did God do for that soul? Sant Garibdas ji described it in the knowledge obtained from the Supreme God Kabir ji: –
Garib, Pativrata zameen par, Jyon-jyon dhar hai paavae |
Samrath jhaadu det hai, Na kaanta lag jaavae ||
The sins that hinder the way of the bhakti are destroyed by doing Sat-Bhakti.
Kabir, Jab hi Satyanaam hridya dharo, Bhayo paap ko naash |
Jaise chingaari agni ki, Padae puraane ghaas ||
Therefore, after taking Initiation from a Complete Guru, everyone should follow Sat-bhakti and instructions. The Supreme Father God Kabir Saheb can change our future and can destroy our Karma.
